青英薈萃 | Under The Moon Part 1
鐵杵磨成針，功到自然成。
“青英薈萃”悅讀計劃是街道關工委、孫爺爺談心室、學“陶”知行青年學習社配合“雙減”政策需要而發(fā)起的英語閱讀活動。每期推文以220余詞為一個選段，邀請外國語專業(yè)研究生領讀，單列部分重點詞句和常用語法。同學們可以通過原文跟讀、雙語對照、學習點撥更好地理解原文，提高英語閱讀能力。
今天要和大家分享的，是一部科幻作品?Under the Moon?。書中說用來阻擋太陽光的臭氧層裂開了一個洞，雖然人類制造了人工臭氧層，但是在三百年后這個人工臭氧層也失去了保護作用，人類將面臨怎樣的選擇呢？
原文領讀
今天要讀的選段發(fā)生在一駕宇宙飛船上，主要是宇航員凱(Kiah)和瑞拉(Rilla)以及賽魯船長(Captain Seru)的對話。
Under The Moon Part 1
Five hundred kilometres over Europe，Ship OM-45 moved north．In a room at the back of the ship，Kiah watched the numbers on the computer in front of him．
‘Time for dinner，’Rilla said．
The numbers changed quickly and Kiah's eyes didn't move．Rilla went across the room to his table．She began to watch the numbers，too．
‘What's wrong with the satellite？’she asked．She was a beautiful girl，about twenty years old，with long black hair and big eyes．
‘Nothing's wrong with the satellite，’Kiah answered quietly．‘It's the AOL．’He began to write the numbers in the book on his table．
Suddenly，the numbers stopped changing．Kiah looked at Rilla．‘Over Europe，’he said．‘It's happening．The AOL is breaking up．There are big holes in the AOL and they're getting bigger．’
‘You're right！Shall we see Captain Seru now，before dinner？’
Kiah stood up．He was nearly two metres tall，with dark eyes and hair．‘Yes，come on，’he said．
Quickly，they went to Captain Seru's room．They waited at the door．
‘Come in！’captain Seru called．She was a little woman with a fat face．‘Come in！Would you like a drink？’
‘No，thank you，’Kiah answered．‘I'd like you to look at these numbers．’Kiah gave Captain Seru his book．

“該吃飯了。”瑞拉叫他。
The numbers changed quickly and Kiah's eyes didn't move．Rilla went across the room to his table．She began to watch the numbers，too．

學習點撥
1.本選段大家要注意以下幾個詞：
第一個是：moved north，move是“移動”的意思，在move后面直接加字母d構(gòu)成過去式，表示發(fā)生在過去的動作；north在這里是“向北方”的意思，moved north意為“向北方移動”
第二個是：stopped changing，stop是“停止”的意思，由于stop是以重讀閉音節(jié)結(jié)尾，構(gòu)成過去式要雙寫p再加ed；stop doing sth.意為停止做某事，change是“變換，變化”的意思，stop changing就是“停止變換”的意思
2.本選段有一個常用語法（或句型）：
What’s wrong with sth./sb.??表示“某物或者某人出什么事了？”
通常用于詢問某物出了什么問題或者是關心某人怎么了，大家可以在以后的閱讀中留心。需要注意的是，在口語中，“What’s wrong with you?”的意思會隨著語氣的變化而改變，可以表示關心，也可表示指責、責備，意思是“你這人怎么回事兒??？”
閱讀思考
通過閱讀，你知道凱為什么要給賽魯船長看數(shù)據(jù)嘛？他們接下來會有怎樣的對話？好了，今天的青英薈萃就讀到這里。祝大家學的開心、變的更強，我們下期再見。
